Chapter 1: The Free Creator Chapter 23 The Game of Death
Qingtong Lingyu space, dark labyrinth.
Under the soft grinding and hard bubble of Qingtong, Xiao Hei's mood has loosened. So she quickly agreed to let Qingtong try to refine the Horcrux and enter the lamp world to find the artifact spirit of the grave keeper's lamp, but she had to attach a trace of spiritual power to Qingtong, and she might be able to help him at a critical moment.
Qingtong's ability to escape is definitely fast, and with the infiltration of her spiritual power as a guarantee, there shouldn't be any major problems. Xiao Hei was a little weak-hearted, and he was wondering if the bet was a bit big.
Qingtong poured spiritual power into his two hands, and the moment he touched the wick, a suction force rose out and brought him in.
The world of lights.
The space in this lamp body, which is only the size of an arm, is not as narrow and long as Qingtong imagined, but it is unexpectedly much larger. As a world in a Horcrux that contains a large amount of fire, it is not an imaginary sea of fire that flows backwards, and the heat is all over the sky, and it is even ...... It's a bit cold. If I had to find an adjective to sum it up, it would be barrenness.
It's a gray space with no end in sight, no sun and moon, no vegetation, nothing common, just fine gray sand, and when Qingtong first came in, he even thought that he hadn't found the right entrance.
If it is according to what Xiao Hei said, it must be extremely dangerous. Judging from the state of the Horcrux used by Long Fang, Qingtong imagined that this should be a dangerous place, and there was a majestic fire snake entrenched on it, and the moment he entered, he spat out the tongue of fire and said: This is my territory, and a small spirit dares to touch it, I will kill you...... Then he spewed out flames and began to attack him ferociously. However, this is not the case here.
Qingtong cat walked slowly for a long time, but did not encounter any danger, in this gray endless desert that seemed to have been forgotten, did not encounter any life, and even the wind that often matched the wasteland did not bother to patronize. Does the spirit of the grave keeper's lamp really live in this barren silence?
If we continue to walk cautiously like this, will we be able to find an end?
"Hey, anyone?" Qingtong shouted, and the world flickered as if a switch had been flung, and then the sand under his feet was like a lake, like a ripple that had been stirred up, and then it began to shake rhythmically, and then returned to calm.
For this reckless and unplanned act, Xiao Hei didn't know that her additional spiritual power would only be triggered when Qingtong was in danger. If she was there, she would have been mad.
Qingtong thought to herself, "But it seems that there is no other way." He playfully stuck out his tongue and rolled up the sleeves on his arms, as if to make a big move.
"Speakers, speakers, microphones, microphones, ......" he muttered to concretize these two things that are often seen in reality, without using much spiritual power. Qingtong put the speaker in one position, and then ran in the other direction with the microphone.
"Test, test, hey, hey!" said like a tuner. The world of lights moved again as if it had been touched. The speaker from which the sound originates is the center of the circle, and a circle of yellow ripples ripples out. Qingtong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a way to activate this barren land.
He calculated the danger, looked at the speaker ten meters away from him, cautiously took a few steps back, then took a light breath, and shouted with full breath: "Hello, I'm Qingtong." I want to ...... you" Then a loud voice came out of the speaker, and before Qingtong could finish speaking, a powerful pillar of flame spun and slammed down from the sky, although it was a flame vortex, it was as fast as lightning.
This immense momentum carried an unrivaled power, turning the speakers of the source of the sound into ashes in an instant, and the powerful flames disappeared after destroying the source of the sound, and it was like breath freely. Although the flames that suddenly appeared and disappeared only raised the temperature in the space by a few degrees, Qingtong was still sweating in shock, if the pillar of fire hit him, then he would be the one who died out.
The dust in the air slowly drifted to the ground a moment later, merging with the gray sand on the ground. Then at this time, in this vast and barren gray space in front of you, how many Horcrux visitors with poor strength were turned into ashes by that pillar of flame!
Thinking of this, Qingtong swallowed his saliva. Although he had seen the flame serpent of the Spirit of the Lamp during the battle with Fang, it had not been so powerful when it was used by Fang. "Is this related to the resonance of the Horcrux spiritual power that Xiao Hei said? If that's the case, it seems to be underestimating the degree of danger......" Qingtong thought.
"Haha, I'm still alive, someone is playing with me~" A child's voice came from his shoulder.
Qingtong shook and turned back in horror: "You are ......" Before he finished speaking, a pair of small hands covered his mouth.
Qingtong didn't even notice any sound approaching, let alone feeling that the doll was already sitting on his shoulder. Was it because the pillar of fire was attracting too much attention? The answer seems to be no, so what is the child in front of him doing that suddenly appears? And ...... Could there be anything other than a spirit in a Horcrux?
Although there were more and more doubts, Qingtong immediately came to his senses. The little hands slowly lowered, and Qingtong calmed down from this unexpected situation. He was about to speak when the boy made a gesture of silence.
"Fire ears sleep. The child lowered his voice.
"Is there anyone else in this light world?" Qingtong also lowered his voice and asked with the child.
"In this land of ashes? The child replied.
The land of ashes, this name is really apt, Qingtong thought to himself.
"Okay, then I'll ask you first, who is Huo'er. "Qingtong knows that the consultant wants to see this child's mind.
"Fireear is a flaming serpent. He had released the flame just now, and it was like being overturned impatiently while sleeping......" said the child with a wink of disapproval. Qingtong swallowed his saliva again, secretly glad for his witty voice just now.
"My name is Qingtong, what's your name? Qingtong lowered his voice. There are two guardian spirits in this lamp world, if this small point can emit the same level of flame just now, and can be retracted and released freely, it means that the child's ability should not be underestimated.
Being able to quietly land on his shoulder without Qingtong noticing shows that this child has no murderous intentions towards him, otherwise he will be turned to ashes in an instant.
"Fireear won't let me say my name. Unless......" the child's little eyes rolled a few times, as if thinking of something, "unless you bet to win me." ”
Qingtong was stunned, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, this child is about six or seven years old, with the innocence and playfulness that a child should have, but he also has a mind beyond a child, and he actually talks about the conditions.
"What kind of bet?" Qingtong gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Hide and seek. The child smiled wickedly. "If you can find me, I'll tell you my name. If you can't find it...... Hey. As he spoke, two flames suddenly shot out from his eyes, sweeping across the ground of the Ash Land, and two small flames were ignited. If he could shoot flames from his eyes, Qingtong would have been startled if he was usual, but after seeing the battle of the Pillar of Flames just now, he thought this trick was a bit funny. But he still pretended to be frightened and opened his mouth wide.
But is the purpose of coming here to play with this mysterious child whose identity is unknown? Qingtong hesitated for a moment, and then thought that the fire ear in the child's mouth was sleeping, and if he angered the child, maybe he could roar the flame snake out with a single voice. So it seems that I don't have so many options.
A little analysis shows that this is not an equal bet: if he wins, he only knows the child's name. If he loses, he dies. In the eyes of this child, it was just a game of death that gambled on his life.
Qingtong regretted a little whether he should have listened to Xiao Hei's words, and now it seems that he has to see if he can find a chance to escape from the thin spiritual power of the enchantment, and then challenge him when his strength increases in the future. After making up his mind, Qingtong said: "This vast wasteland, flat and vast, where do you plan to hide?" ”
The corners of the child's mouth hooked, and he smiled: "Before the fire wakes up, if you still can't find me, then you are in trouble." After saying this, he disappeared into thin air.
He has been in this lamp world for so long, if he wants to merge into this land of ashes, a speck of dust can allow him to hide, and this barren eyes, where to find it. Qingtong thought that this was a fool, to find this child, and to be light on not waking up the sleeping flame snake. Then you can only pretend to be looking for the child, and concentrate on finding the weak spiritual power of the enchantment in this land of ashes to escape.
Qingtong's spiritual power was exerted, and the antelope wooden feet were conjured. The antelope wooden feet have a small stress area, and there is only a rustle when running on this gray sand, and from the experiment just now, it seems that the ordinary small sound will not easily wake up the flame snake.
"Feel it with your heart and find the place where your spiritual power is thin as soon as possible. Bronze closed his eyes and sped away in the vast barren gray space.
"Wow~ It's so fast! The childish voice seemed to come from Qingtong's ears. But when I turned around, the children weren't here. "So...... Let's change the rules. ”
A ball of fire suddenly rose from high in the sky of the Ash Land, like the sun shining. This ball of fire floats in the void, take a closer look...... But it's going down very slowly.
"This thing explodes when it hits the ground, hehehe. The child's voice was full of innocence, but it sounded like a demon's death announcement.
"It doesn't matter if you will be affected by the explosion of this fire ball, and run farther. What's worse is that the sound of the explosion will definitely wake up the sleeping flame snake!"
